Title
Final Report of the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee (B)
The City Commission received the final report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Affordable Housing on June 13, 2005. The City Commission referred the report to the City Manager and the General Manager for Utilities, who were asked to report back to the City Commission with an implementation plan for the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee's recommendations.
Explanation
On October 25, 2004, the City Commission approved the creation of an Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee. The committee met over several months to gather information relative to local affordable housing needs and the programs that are currently in place to address those needs. The Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee completed its work and presented its final report to the City Commission with recommendations on June 13, 2005. The City Commission then referred the report to the City Manager and General Manager for Utilities for follow-up and staff recommendations on implementation.
General Government and GRU staff have reviewed the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee recommendations and determined what actions have been or can be taken to implement those recommendations. The staff's responses are included in the back-up memorandum.
Fiscal Note
There is no additional financial impact anticipated in order to implement the recommendations at this time.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) receive an update from staff on implementing recommendations from the final report of the Ad Hoc Affordable Housing Committee; and 2) take additional actions as appropriate.
Alternate Recommendation A: Defer discussion on this item to a later date.
